Darrell agreed. “This is a misunderstanding, Mr. Bucham. Mr. Julian must’ve had a reason for not pursuing Elisa earnestly. Elisa already has a boyfriend anyway. Their relationship’s doing well.”

Walter smiled and said, “I have all the answers. Julian has been giving Elisa presents and flowers behind our backs recently. He had even visited your house several times and fetched her from the airport when she returned from her business trips.

“We didn’t know a thing because that boy hid it too well. We would’ve come over sooner if we had known. Our families have been acquainted for decades, and we know everything about each other. Don’t worry. We’ll treat Elisa like a daughter after she joins our family.”

Stacy chimed in, “That’s right. It’s good that our families are well acquainted. Since we don’t have a daughter, we’ll dote on our daughter-in-law like our own. You don’t have to worry about Julian mistreating Elisa. We’ll definitely be on her side.”

They could finally rest in peace if
